Biography

Hugo's family.

Hugo Weasley was born after August 2006 (as he is specified to be younger than Rose and not going to Hogwarts in the same year as her) to a pure-bloodfather and a Muggle-bornmother, making him half-blood. He is about two years younger than his sister Rose, and around the same age as his cousin Lily Potter, daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter, and the two seem to be quite close. In 2017, he accompanied his parents to see off his sister and his Potter cousins to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hugo and Lily shared an eagerness to go to Hogwarts, despite both of them being too young. At King's Cross Station, the two had "an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts" [1]

Although it is not specified when, it is likely he will attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he turns eleven. While some fans have speculated that he is around the same age as Lily, this is not confirmed.

Physical appearance

Hugo, like his elder sister Rose, takes after their paternal family in looks. He has his father's red hair and blue eyes.

Etymology

Hugo with his parents

Hugo is a Latinised form of the Germanic or Teutonic name Hugh, meaning "bright in spirit and mind". French novelist and poet Victor Hugo was a famous bearer of this name. J.K.Rowling loved his works.

It is also possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same initials as their parents, R and H. Interestingly, both children also have names consisting of four letters.
